Top of the big era

Zhou Buqi felt that when his sister grew up, he should no longer treat her as a child, but at least raise her as an equal. The next day, he took her to Jieyu Media and met Xu Baihui.

Straight to the point, Zhou Nan said happily: "Sister Baihui, I won!"

Apparently, they had already discussed this topic.

Xu Baihui had a black line on her forehead, "Happy Twist?"

"right!"

Zhou Nan smiled and looked triumphant.

Xu Baihui looked at Zhou Buqi helplessly and said with a headache: "Boss Zhou, Jieyu Media is in the film and television industry, which is not adjacent to the theater business."

Zhou Nan grabbed the conversation and said: "It's all a performance, different paths lead to the same goal!"

Xu Baihui said angrily: "Thank you for studying acting. Theater performance and film and television performance are two completely different modes. How many of the great artists in the People's Art Institute can perform well in movies and TV series? These are two different industries! "

Zhou Nan muttered: "The performance can also be adjusted, as if you are more professional than me."

Xu Baihui didn't want to pay attention to her, "Boss Zhou, what do you think? Even if she is your sister, you can't take her to fool around with you."

"Who's messing around?"

"Business?"

"Of course it's business." Zhou Buqi snorted, "Public is public, private is private. When did you see me involve my private affairs in the company?"

Xu Baihui blinked her eyes a few times, "Isn't it still less? If it were up to me, I wouldn't sign either Jiang Bingjie or Dilireya."

"Ahem..." Zhou Buqi waved his hands and said seriously, "That's right. I think Nan Nan's idea is feasible. Baihui, you were right just now. Drama performances and film and television performances are two different systems. . But comedy is comedy. Do you think Zhou Xingxing is an orthodox comedy show?"

"Well..." Xu Baihui nodded lightly, "However, there is only one Zhou Xingxing in the world. Even in Hollywood, there is only one Jim Carrey. Other very successful comedians are all orthodox film and television performance models. You When you look at the comedies directed by Xiaogang, they are all orthodox acting systems."

Zhou Buqi disagreed, "You can still give it a try. I quite like their performance style. For comedy, moderately exaggerated performances may be an advantage."

Zhou Nan nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, that's it. Sister Baihui, Happy Twist Theater is very popular. They have a new drama called "The Count of Wulong Mountain". It's quite interesting. You can do it when you have time." Go check it out.”

Xu Baihui sat across from the sofa and told her secretary to postpone the upcoming market analysis meeting for "People on the Road" for one hour. Then she took a deep breath and said, "Boss Zhou, do you really want to do this?"

Zhou Buqi said: "It's very necessary. Look at this summer release, "Tangshan Earthquake", which director Xiaogang worked so hard for, seems to be not as popular as a small-budget "People on the Road". This shows that the comedy potential."

Xu Baihui nodded lightly, "Well, Hua Yi is quite touched. It seems that Director Xiao Gang has quickly made a project to make a sequel to "If You Are the One", a comedy. He just wants to make a quick buck and make up for the losses. return."

"Yes, that's the truth."

Zhou Buqi feels that if Jieyu Media wants to gain a foothold in the domestic film and television industry, it is not enough to win over the team of Ning Hao, Xu Zheng, and Huang Bo. It is best to win over Happy Twist too!

If this thing is done, Jieyu Media's position as the leader in the domestic film and television industry will be completely stable, and it will not just be a low-level entertainment company selling variety shows.

Then, he talked about the combination of stage comedy and film comedy.

This is definitely an industry innovation.

The stage allows a higher error tolerance rate. If a performance is not good, it is only for 1,000 audiences, and the impact will not be big. If one performance is not good, just learn from experience in the next performance and make improvements.

But movies are different. Once you make a mistake, your investment will be ruined.

Theater comedy can be an experimental field for film comedy!

"Yes, that's it, brother, you are so great!" Zhou Nan applauded, "This is the first time I discovered that you are so smart!"

Zhou Buqi glared at her, "Your brother is already very smart!"

Xu Baihui thought slowly and said, "Then do you know Deyun Club?"

"certainly."

"They have become very popular in the past few years, and their reputation has become so great that they have also ventured out of the theater to make movies and TV series. Master Guo also personally acted and starred in several movies, such as "Hu Sanniang and the Dwarf Tiger Wang Ying" and the one just last month. The released "Three Smiles: The Talented Man and the Beautiful Lady" all failed, losing both word-of-mouth and box office."

Zhou Buqi shook his head, "There is still a difference. No matter what genre or mode of acting, there is a threshold for this thing after all. The guys from Deyun Club are very good at cross talk, but their acting skills are really incredible. Even if it's a comedy, it's really theatrical. Theater performances are also visual performances, while crosstalk performances are more of an auditory performance."

Xu Baihui said softly "Hmm".

Zhou Nan said: "Sister Baihui, my brother has said that comedy is the right path. "Tangshan Earthquake" is so good, what's the use? The audience doesn't want to spend money to buy the pain. Watch Deyun Club and Happy Twist's theaters, including the Liu Laogen stage at my home, are actually the same, they all bring joy to the audience, which is what society needs most at the moment."

Xu Baihui rolled her eyes at him, "You understand the truth, why don't I understand it?"

Zhou Nan said puzzledly: "Then why are you hesitating? Just like my brother said, I bought Happy Twist, a combination of stage comedy and movie comedy. The most powerful comedy team in China is directed by Xiaogang, and that is Huayi Yes. If Jieyu Media wants to compete with them, it will have to recruit more people."

Xu Baihui pondered for a long time and then said slowly: "If we really want to do it, it will be a series of very complicated things. It is not just a simple combination of stage comedy and movie comedy."

Mr. Xu is a veteran in the entertainment industry, and she has already considered many things.

Zhou Buqi asked: "What?"

Xu Baihui held out three fingers, "First, in the small theaters in the capital, in addition to cross talk, Peking opera, stage plays, and musicals, there is another form that is very popular among young people."

"What is it?"

"Talk show."

"oh!"

Zhou Buqi suddenly realized.

Xu Baihui said: "Since Nan Nan mentioned Happy Twist, I have gone to see more than 20 of their performances. They are indeed very exciting. It is the most marketable theater format in China today. Well, I have never been to Liu Laogen Stage. I don't know. What's going on over there?"

Zhou Buqi is from the Northeast. There are many two-person theaters in his hometown, so he knows better, "Don't go! It's not interesting! It's not suitable for children anymore. It's often so vulgar that it's disgusting and unpalatable."

Xu Baihui nodded lightly, "Happy Twist's stage play is very good, but there is a more serious problem, their transitions are not good. They are large theater stage plays, the props are very complicated, and it takes a long time to set up. This is different from Crosstalk is different. One group of people finished speaking, and then another group of people continued. I have encountered on-the-spot accidents twice. Maybe the transition props were not ready. During the intermission for more than ten minutes, the audience started to make a fuss."

"Huh?"

Zhou Buqi raised his eyebrows and heard what she meant.

Zhou Nan's little mind was spinning very fast, "So you mean to add talk shows? After a stage play is finished, the curtain is drawn down, and then the talk show actors will perform a simple performance, and then switch to Stage play? Sister Baihui, you are so smart, you are smarter than my brother!"

Xu Baihui pursed her lips and smiled, glanced at Zhou Buqi, and said jokingly: "I wouldn't dare. Your brother is so awesome. He is fierce as soon as he enters the room, as if he wants to hit someone."

Zhou Buqi coughed and said, "Don't be ridiculous, I never hit a woman."

Xu Baihui curled her lips and continued: "The first point is to improve the Happy Twist stage drama model by adding a talk show transition. The second point is that if they want to move their stage comedy to the big screen, they need to create star."

"Star making?"

"Yes, the theater model can be played in super first-tier cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, but you will lose money if you go to Tianjin. The audience for these theater actors in Happy Twist is still too small. If you want to make a movie, you have to let people They need to be famous.”

"I have a solution!"

Zhou Nan raised his hand excitedly.

Xu Baihui wanted to test her, "What method?"

Zhou Nan said enthusiastically: "Ask Uncle Benshan for help, help them polish a comedy sketch and go to the Spring Festival Gala stage."

Xu Baihui said with a smile: "This is a way, but now fewer and fewer young people watch the Spring Festival Gala. Except for Uncle Benshan, the Spring Festival Gala skits have basically no influence. Jieyu Media's special skill is to produce reality show variety shows programme."

Zhou Nan suddenly realized, "Oh! Variety show! Do you want to make a comedy reality show?"

Xu Baihui said: "Reality shows are an opportunity. There are so many video websites now, and young people like to watch film and television programs on the Internet. With the spread of the Internet, it is easier to create stars."

It's obvious that she has a deep knowledge of this industry, speaking like a young person. Because she knows that if the domestic film market wants to flourish, those over the age of 30 will basically have no chance. They can only rely on the post-80s and 90s young people who grew up in the environment of reform and opening up. This generation is the market economy. hope.

Zhou Buqi was very satisfied, "Yes, reality shows, from stage plays to reality shows, and then movies on the big screen, this is a one-stop ecological industrial structure. A very good business model."

Xu Baihui rolled her eyes at him, "There is a third point, talk shows. Maybe there can be talk show-type film and television programs, and talk show actors are also comedians. The more important point is that the threshold for talk shows is low, unlike Crosstalk is so complicated. Once you have written the script and the jokes, it is the same if you let the stars come on stage to speak."

"Okay, it's a very good design, then it's settled!" Zhou Buqi waved his hand, and then he was a little surprised, "You've thought about it all, why are you still reluctant?"

Xu Baihui said angrily: "The thing I care about most now is going public. How can such a big project be so easy to do? I won't wait until she graduates and the company is listed before we reorganize the layout."

Zhou Nan looked embarrassed.

If it was just a stage play business, she felt that she could barely participate. But Sister Baihui has created such a large set of ecological industries, which is too scary.

She didn't have confidence that she could do it well, so she looked at her brother pitifully, waiting for him to come to the rescue.

Zhou Buqi said proudly: "In this case, it's settled. Let's take our time with everything else and acquire Happy Mahua first. Taking advantage of the opportunity of listing, we can directly use shares to merge and acquire them, so that they can also participate in the listing. spring breeze."
